Well 2nite i went out to discover i dont have a 32mm long enough to get to the castle nut so will have to get one 2moro before i can get the shafts off

built the other inlet manifold up, couple of pipes

got the turbo off the head ready to go on the other block

got the power steering pump off as well, basically need the gearbox and block out now then i can move onto the next stadge of this conversion..

So far so good

and cheers to colour-tec for my 1st mod clear side repeaters and thats my only and last body mod
